The inaugural flight at Novosibirsk welcomed with a water cannon salute

Flydubai adds two new Russian cities to its network

DUBAI, October 8, 2015

Flydubai has launched flights to two new destinations in Russia - Nizhny Novgorod and Novosibirsk - making it the first Dubai-based airline to serve these cities. 

Offering one of the most comprehensive networks from the UAE the carrier now operates to 10 destinations in Russia.

The flights from Dubai to Novosibirsk commenced on October 4 with three flights a week and flights to Nizhny Novgorod began on October 7 with two flights a week.

Flydubai marked its first entry to the Russian market in 2010 with the launch of flights to Samara and Yekaterinburg. Five years on, the carrier continues to grow its network in the market opening up previously underserved destinations that had no or few direct links to the UAE.

Commenting on the inaugurals, Ghaith Al Ghaith, chief executive officer of flydubai, said: “Since the start of our flights to Russia five years ago, we have seen strong demand for affordable, reliable and direct services to Dubai. We are committed to growing our network in the market and the new flights to Nizhny Novgorod and Novosibirsk will provide passengers from the UAE and Russia with an accessible means to explore both countries.”

Flydubai’s extensive network in Russia includes Kazan, Krasnodar, Mineralnye Vody, Moscow, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Ufa and Yekaterinburg. The direct flights also made it easier for businesses to explore opportunities across Russia which were not very accessible before. – TradeArabia News Service
